Effects of the invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans on native Atlantic coral-reef fish communities

Creator:

Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...

Larval Connectivity in an Effective Network of Marine Protected Areas

Creator:

Christie, Mark R., Tissot, Brian N., Albins, Mark A., Beets, James P., Jia, Yanli, Ortiz, Delisse M., Thompson, Stephen E., and Hixon, Mark A.

Abstract:

Acceptance of marine protected areas (MPAs) as fishery and conservation tools has been hampered by lack of direct evidence that MPAs successfully seed unprotected areas with larvae of targeted species. For the first time, we present direct evidence of large-scale population connectivity within an existing and effective network of MPAs....
